“…Among these benefits is the citizens' role in the city, allowing people to grow into new competences, while utilizing their individual potential to the fullest through establishing person-context exchange dynamics (Martinez, 2006). In a recent publication (Martinez, 2006), Martinez describes the profile of knowledge citizens as having capabilities of civic responsibility, tolerance, solidarity, self motivation and others. Nonetheless, many citizens are not as involved in the city's life as in the ideal profile.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to address the subject of knowledge citizenship from the perspective of citizen participation in their city's decision-making processes. It focuses on a case study of the city of Holon, Israel.Design/methodology/approach -This paper presents three distinct methods for citizen participation processes which were used by Holon: citizen-based consensus conference, neighborhood conversations, and knowledge café sessions, all of which allow the municipality to implement citizen participation as part of its routine, fluent operations. Findings -The story of Holon presents the methods and processes for the creation of citizen dialog aimed to allow a city to develop itself into a knowledge city.Originality/value -The case study shows how the theory of knowledge cities can be transferred into actual practicality. It describes three different ways to combine knowledge sharing in a city as part of the town's development into a knowledge city. Holon's experience can serve other cities to learn what processes are more suitable and applicable for them.

“…Workplace learners are amongst these emerging types of knowledge workers. They have been identified in particular (mostly educational) contexts, as knowledge managers (Cothrel and Williams, 1999); knowledge facilitators[1] (McNeil, 2004) or knowledge citizens (Martinez, 2006). Still, KM specialists are just beginning to understand what these knowledge workers do and how their work processes and competences can be improved.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present results of a four‐year qualitative research project on the dynamics of skill development strategies in e‐learning workplace environments.Design/methodology/approachA potential knowledge city, Greater Manchester relies on its human (individual and collective) capitals, put to work in knowledge engines such as its universities. Such context has become a complex and uncharted territory for research. Research analysis within knowledge‐based higher education territory clearly demands knowledge‐based tools. Therefore, the research behind this paper has adopted Carrillo's generic system of capitals, an integrative KM3 taxonomy. Such framework has been instrumental in identifying contextual aspects, drivers and rooted strategies of k‐facilitators' adaptation to emergent learning environments.FindingsThe grounded model reported here further conceptualised how Mancunian e‐learning practitioners seemingly follow an embedded process of adaptation. Practitioners actually develop strategies to adapting in emerging learning spaces while they adapt to swiftly changing conditions in their workplace environments. The skill developments facilitators undertake seemingly allow them to link and connect to learning spaces, as well as to the existing university social systems and networks of learning. Those systems and networks are integrated to the city's knowledge capitals, and beyond.Originality/valueBy exploring Greater Manchester (UK) universities' e‐learning strategies, this paper contributes to KM theoretical understanding of how facilitators develop their knowledge‐based skills in emergent higher education learning spaces.
